Herefordshire Council Fostering Service

Fostering is everything from short emergency stays, weekends or holidays to long term placements. New born babies to teenagers and young adults. It’s everything you think it is and so much more. It’s everything to us and it’s everything to the children in care. It’s what gives them the start in life they deserve. A safe home where they are loved, learn to be a child again and grow into a young person.
We need all kinds of carers to offer a range of placements from long and short term to specialist pieces of work with children facing challenges in their lives.
You will receive a full allowance to cover all your and the child’s costs. Some elements of fostering, like Therapeutic Fostering, pay a wage to you of £450 a week plus allowances. You can foster alongside your job or any other commitments that you may have.
